We regret much to announce that
the Daughter of the Regiment as
presented at the Opera House Wednes-
lay night by Mr.. s. T. Wright, was a
land disastrous failure. Mr..
attempted to do what no man
,n:earth could reasonably expect to
accomplish, to-wit; place
ong and heavy play on the boards
a rehearsal. The result, as
night havebeenfOreseen, was thatwhat
night have been moving and i'm
)ressive drama was turned into a ri.
iiculous, pickle-herring farce. Mr..
Wright is doubtless an honest, well
man, but he doesn't know a
title bit about the dramatic business.
The Post very wisely declined to per-
nit the play to be repeated last night
md tonight.

he idea thst 1t will be of such vast benefit Is,
Ve think, mista ken one-especially as it is
lot in sufficient volume to be utilized to any
reat eXtent.-C0loHy Free Press.
Not in sufficient volume to be util-
zed to any extent. Haven't we told
'ou that it would run all the machinery
hat could be crowded into the Car
iage Works, aud more too? Come
lown and examine for yourself Broth
r Burke, and you will admit that we
lave not been guilty of the least exag-
,eration.

The democratic editor of the Alien
10baty Democrat, courteously desig-
ates the democratic editor of theHum-

old what good and pleasant thing
